Last week we hosted our first #janeswalk and turned out to be quite a lot more popular than we expected (which is a great thing!)

Thank you everyone for joining!
#Flock Surveillance Coming to Rosedale in Toronto
Flock is a US company that uses AI to comb through security camera footage. They have a track record of sharing data with law enforcement and ICE without adhering to due process. Now they are expanding into Canada, with Rosedale among the first areas where they are looking to set up.
If you live in the #Rosedale area and share our concerns about what this means for your neighbourhood, we want to hear from you.
